Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of pesticide intermediate technology, specifically a preparation process for 4,6-dimethoxy-2-((phenoxycarbonyl)amino)-pyrimidine. Background Technology
[0002] 4,6-Dimethoxy-2-((phenoxycarbonyl)amino)-pyrimidine is an important intermediate in the preparation of sulfonylurea herbicides such as pyrimisulfuron, bensulfuron-methyl, and pyrimisulfuron. Since its purity directly affects the purity and quality of downstream sulfonylurea herbicides, the preparation technology of high-purity 4,6-dimethoxy-2-((phenoxycarbonyl)amino)-pyrimidine is one of the important technologies for producing qualified or high-purity sulfonylurea herbicides. Its molecular structure contains active groups such as a pyrimidine ring and a carbamate group, and it can also be used in the pharmaceutical field to synthesize drug molecules with specific biological activities.
[0003] Traditional methods typically use 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine and phenyl chloroformate as raw materials to prepare the target product. However, phenyl chloroformate has drawbacks such as high toxicity, poor stability, and volatility, leading to significant safety hazards during production, transportation, and storage, and also resulting in high preparation costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a preparation process for 4,6-dimethoxy-2-((phenoxycarbonyl)amino)-pyrimidine, which solves the problems of significant safety hazards and high preparation costs associated with traditional processes during production, transportation, and storage.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a preparation process for 4,6-dimethoxy-2-((phenoxycarbonyl)amino)-pyrimidine, comprising the following steps: S1. Prepare 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine, solid phosgene, phenol, solvent and catalyst; S2. Dissolve solid phosgene in a portion of the solvent to prepare a solvent solution of solid phosgene; S3. Add 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine and the remaining solvent to a four-necked flask, stir to dissolve, add the catalyst, and then add the solvent solution of the solid phosgene dropwise. S4. After the addition is complete, the temperature is raised and the reaction is maintained at this temperature. Then phenol is added, the temperature is raised again, and the reaction is maintained at this temperature again to obtain the reaction solution. S5. The reaction solution is then cooled to room temperature, washed with water until neutral, and separated to obtain the organic phase. The organic phase is then dried and filtered. S6. The filtered organic phase is subjected to vacuum distillation to recover the solvent, and a crude product is obtained. The crude product is purified by recrystallization to obtain pure 4,6-dimethoxy-2-((phenoxycarbonyl)amino)-pyrimidine.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the addition of solvent and catalyst creates a suitable reaction environment for the reaction, and each raw material participates in the reaction according to the process settings, ensuring the smooth start of the reaction; Dissolve solid phosgene in a solvent to form a solution, which facilitates subsequent dropwise addition and ensures that the solid phosgene is evenly dispersed in the reaction system, avoiding reaction abnormalities caused by local aggregation; Mix 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine with the remaining solvent and stir to dissolve, ensuring that the reactants are fully dispersed. The addition of the catalyst can promote the reaction kinetics. The dropwise addition of solid phosgene solution allows the reaction to proceed step by step, avoiding side reactions caused by excessively fast reaction rates. After the addition is complete, the temperature is raised and maintained in stages to allow the 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine to react fully with solid phosgene to generate the key intermediate. Then, phenol is added to continue the reaction, so as to achieve the step-by-step orderly reaction and ensure the formation pathway of the target product. After the reaction solution is cooled, it is washed with water until neutral to remove soluble impurities in the reaction system. Liquid-liquid separation separates the organic phase from the aqueous phase. Drying removes residual water from the organic phase, and filtration further removes solid impurities, improving the purity of the materials to be processed later. Solvent recovery by vacuum distillation enables the reuse of solvent, and recrystallization purification of crude product can remove residual raw materials and by-products to obtain high-purity 4,6-dimethoxy-2-((phenoxycarbonyl)amino)-pyrimidine. Through the above steps, the generation of by-products during the reaction can be reduced, solvent recycling reduces resource consumption, and post-treatment operations such as washing and filtration reduce harmful components in waste, ultimately achieving a low pressure on the treatment of waste and an environmentally friendly effect.
[0007] Preferably, in step S1, the molar ratio of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine, solid phosgene, and phenol is 1:(1.0-1.5):(1.0-1.2).
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the amino group in the molecular structure of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine provides a reaction site for the formation of the target product. Solid phosgene can react with the amino group to generate an intermediate, and phenol can further react with the intermediate to form the carbamate structure in the target product. The three work together to ensure that 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine fully participates in the reaction, reduces the residue of unreacted raw materials, and avoids the increase of side reactions caused by the excess of a single component, thus ensuring that the reaction proceeds in an orderly manner according to the set path.
[0009] Preferably, in step S1, the solvent is one or more of toluene and xylene.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, toluene and xylene can dissolve 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine, solid phosgene, and phenol, providing a homogeneous reaction medium and ensuring full contact between the reactants. Both have obvious stratification characteristics with water, facilitating the separation of the organic and aqueous phases after the reaction and simplifying post-processing operations. They are easily recovered under vacuum distillation conditions and can be reused in the reaction. At the same time, they have low toxicity, which reduces the environmental impact during the reaction process compared to highly toxic solvents, lowers the content of toxic components in waste gas and waste liquid, and further reduces resource consumption through recycling.
[0011] Preferably, the catalyst is one or more of triethylamine and pyridine.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, triethylamine and pyridine are both well miscible with toluene or xylene in the reaction system, and can be uniformly dispersed in the reaction medium to contact the reactants, promoting the initiation of the reaction between 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine and solid phosgene, driving the formation of intermediates and subsequent reactions with phenol, and ensuring the smooth progress of the reaction. Triethylamine and pyridine are chemically stable and do not easily decompose under reaction conditions, thus not introducing additional impurities into the reaction system and ensuring product purity. The separation of triethylamine and pyridine from reaction products and solvents can be achieved through post-processing steps such as washing and distillation, without leaving residues in the final product. Furthermore, no large amount of harmful byproducts are generated during use. Combined with the recovery and reuse of toluene or xylene, the reaction conditions are mild, helping to improve product yield and content.
[0013] Preferably, the amount of catalyst used is 0.05-0.1 times the molar amount of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the ratio of the amount of catalyst to the molar amount of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine ensures that the catalyst can fully exert its catalytic effect, and promotes the reaction of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine with solid phosgene and the subsequent reaction with phenol to proceed according to the set path.
[0015] Preferably, in step S2, the mass concentration of solid phosgene in the solvent solution is 20-30%.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, solid phosgene is fully dissolved in toluene or xylene to form a uniform and stable reaction solution, ensuring the stability of the droplet addition process. This allows the solid phosgene to come into uniform contact with 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine after being added to the reaction vessel, and, in conjunction with the action of the catalyst, promotes the orderly progress of the reaction, avoiding side reactions caused by excessively high local concentrations.
[0017] Preferably, in step S3, the time for adding the solid phosgene solvent solution to the four-necked flask is 30-40 minutes.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, solid phosgene solvent is added dropwise to a four-necked flask, allowing solid phosgene to gradually enter the reaction system and slowly come into contact with the mixture formed by 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine, catalyst, and solvent. This avoids the violent exothermic reaction caused by a sudden increase in local concentration in the reaction system, ensuring a stable and controllable reaction process.
[0019] Preferably, in step S4, after the addition is complete, the temperature is raised to 60-90°C and the reaction is maintained for 2-4 hours. After the phenol is added, the temperature is raised to 90-110°C and the reaction is maintained for 3-6 hours.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after the droplet is added, the temperature is raised and the reaction is kept at a certain temperature, which provides conditions for the reaction of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine with solid phosgene, and promotes the generation and transformation of intermediates. After adding phenol, the temperature is increased and maintained for further reaction to match the reactivity requirements of the intermediate and phenol, ensuring the formation of the target product. The two-stage heating and holding process reduces the occurrence of side reactions.
[0021] Preferably, in step S5, water is added to wash until neutral, and the washing is performed 3 times. After washing, the washing solution is neutral, and the organic phase is dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate for 2-3 hours.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, washing with water and making the washing solution neutral can remove residual catalyst, unreacted water-soluble impurities, and salts generated in the reaction solution, avoiding the impact of impurity residues on the purity of subsequent products. The organic phase is compatible with the properties of toluene or xylene, and the liquid-liquid separation operation can achieve effective separation of the organic phase and the aqueous phase. Anhydrous sodium sulfate can adsorb residual water in the organic phase, and the drying time can ensure that the organic phase is fully dehydrated, avoiding the interference of water on subsequent vacuum distillation to recover the solvent and recrystallization purification, improving product content and yield, and ensuring solvent recovery efficiency.
[0023] Preferably, in step S6, the solvent used for recrystallization purification is a mixture of organic solvent and water, wherein the organic solvent includes one or more of ethanol, methanol or isopropanol, the volume ratio of organic solvent to water in the mixture is 1:(1-3), and the crystallization temperature is 0-5℃.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol can all be miscible with water to form a mixed solvent. This mixed solvent has good solubility for 4,6-dimethoxy-2-((phenoxycarbonyl)amino)-pyrimidine, but poor solubility for residual raw materials and by-products in the crude product, which is beneficial for the separation of the target product from impurities. Furthermore, the organic solvents used have low toxicity and are easily volatile, and can be recovered through conventional separation methods without increasing the cost of raw materials or the environmental burden.
[0025] This application provides a process for preparing 4,6-dimethoxy-2-((phenoxycarbonyl)amino)-pyrimidine. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. This application uses solid phosgene instead of the highly toxic phenyl chloroformate or gaseous phosgene in the prior art as raw material, and uses inexpensive toluene and xylene as solvents that are easy to react with moisture. At the same time, it selects triethylamine or pyridine as catalysts with controllable cost. Compared with the process of the prior art that relies on highly toxic raw materials or expensive catalysts, it reduces the cost of raw materials and safety risks, and meets the economic needs of industrial production.
[0026] 2. This application controls the concentration of solid phosgene solution, the dropping time, the staged heating and holding reaction parameters, and the molar ratio of catalyst to raw materials, so that the reaction proceeds in an orderly manner under mild conditions, avoiding the problems of violent reaction and many side reactions in the prior art. Combined with the subsequent three water washing to remove impurities and the specific mixed solvent recrystallization process, the product content and yield are greatly improved.
[0027] 3. The toluene and xylene selected in this application can be efficiently recovered and reused through vacuum distillation. The organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol used for recrystallization can also be recovered by conventional means. Compared with the existing technology where solvents are difficult to recover or have low recovery efficiency, this reduces solvent consumption, further reduces production costs, and improves the resource utilization rate of the process.
[0028] 4. The raw materials and solvents used in this application have low toxicity, and no large amount of harmful by-products are generated during the reaction process. The post-treatment water washing step can effectively remove water-soluble impurities and salts, reducing the content of harmful components in waste liquid and waste residue. Compared with the existing technology, which has a large amount of waste discharge and high treatment pressure, this reduces the burden of waste treatment, conforms to the development concept of green chemical industry, and is environmentally friendly.

[0081] 1. As can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 and Table 1, solid phosgene is the core raw material of this process. As a low-toxicity and stable phosgene substitute, it can efficiently generate the target intermediate in the reaction, ensuring product yield and purity. If it is replaced with the traditional raw material phenyl chloroformate, there are not only safety hazards of high toxicity and volatility, but also the product yield drops to 80.5% and the purity is only 97.2%, and the emission of toxic components in the waste gas surges, destroying the synergistic effect of high safety and high product quality.
[0082] 2. Based on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 2, and in conjunction with Tables 2 and 3, it can be seen that toluene and xylene have low toxicity and are easily separated from water, with solvent recovery rates exceeding 90%. However, if replaced with more toxic dichloromethane, the solvent recovery rate drops to only 65.3%, the COD emission of the waste liquid increases to 97.6 g / batch, and the emission of toxic components in the waste gas reaches 203.7 mg / kg. This not only hinders solvent recycling but also exacerbates the environmental burden and undermines the green and environmentally friendly advantages of the process.
[0083] 3. Based on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 3, and in conjunction with Tables 1 and 3, it can be seen that triethylamine and pyridine can promote the reaction in a mild and efficient manner, ensuring product yield and purity. If replaced with inorganic alkali sodium hydroxide, the catalyst has poor compatibility with the reaction system, resulting in a product yield of only 74.3%, a purity of 96.5%, and a waste residue generation of 15.7g / batch, leading to an increase in side reactions and a significant increase in the pressure of waste treatment.
[0084] 4. Based on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 4 and Table 1, it can be seen that solid phosgene can fully activate amino groups to generate intermediates. If the molar ratio is too low (1:0.8), the raw material reaction is incomplete, the product yield drops to 72.8%, the purity is only 95.8%, and the amount of residual raw material in the crude product increases, which destroys the synergistic effect of raw material utilization and product quality.
[0085] 5. Based on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 5 and Table 1, it can be seen that the temperature range of 60-90℃ after the addition can promote the full reaction and avoid side reactions. If the temperature is too low (50℃), the intermediate is not fully formed, and the conversion rate of the subsequent reaction with phenol decreases. The product yield is only 74.9% and the purity is 96.1%, which cannot achieve the synergistic improvement of reaction efficiency and product purity.
[0086] 6. Based on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 6, and in conjunction with Tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that the mixed solvents of ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol and water can precisely control the crystallization purity of the product. If pure ethanol is used instead, impurities are difficult to separate effectively, and the product purity is only 98.2%, which cannot achieve efficient purification of crude product and undermines the technical effect of high product purity.
[0087] 7. Based on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 7, and in conjunction with Tables 1 and 3, it can be seen that slow addition over 30-40 minutes is the core operation for controlling the reaction process. This can avoid violent exothermic reactions and side reactions caused by excessively high local concentrations. If the addition time is too short, the reaction will run out of control and generate a large number of by-products. The product yield will be only 69.8%, the purity will be 94.7%, and the COD emission of the waste liquid will increase to 112.6g / batch.
[0088] 8. Based on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 8, and in conjunction with Tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that a solvent dosage of 5-10 times the mass of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine is crucial to ensure complete dissolution of the raw materials and to ensure uniform reaction. If the dosage is too low, the raw materials will not dissolve completely, the reaction system will be in a suspended state, the mass transfer efficiency will decrease, the product yield will drop to 65.6%, the purity will drop to 93.9%, and the solvent recovery rate will also drop to 88.5%, thus destroying the synergistic effect of reaction sufficiency and solvent recovery efficiency.
